Heavenly Bodies

I like the traditional quilt block Moon over mountain and I'm thinking of making a quilt out of them.  The top is a scan of the mini painting I did last night and the bottom is that same painting inverted in photoshop.  Day and Night.

Riscy is out painting the hallway and our bedroom.  I'm in the computer room browsing the internet and procrastinating from preparing my lecture notes (still).

A fly by

Scratching around for things to blog about, I scanned in a crappy little painting I did and converted it to grey scale.

Today has seen Riscy and I trudging on with our painting.  I also decided that we needed to replace the icky old curtains in our bedroom.  So I spent a considerable amount of time scouting around the Valley looking at curtains.  In the end I went with a roman blind from Freedom and some eyelet tab curtains from Target.  I'm hoping it will work out ok.

I stink of turpentine so I really need to get off this computer and out of these clothes. Cheerio.

New Do - Portrait

New Do - Portrait

Hairdresser Head

Got a new do.

With subtle red blocks and layers all the way up.    My hair is normally curly(ish), but today I have 'hairdresser hair' and must record it 'cause it is the last time it will look this good.

 

This is my 'hello boys' look LOL.  One armed self portraiture has its moments. 

 

And this is my normal self sporting unruly eyebrows and a goofy look on my face.

Do you like that fabric I draped it over my shoulder? (to get some contrast for the hair).  It is a length of metal and silk fabric which I bought from Beautiful Silks last year and I wear it as a wrap.  The warp is the silk and the weft is the metal.  It's my favouirite piece of fabric :-)
